bone grafting provides a firm foundation for dental implants.

Grafts Improve the Results of Dental Implants

A beautiful smile needs a solid foundation of healthy bone. Your bone volume may be lost over time as a result of prolonged gum disease, or the natural deterioration of bone that occurs when a tooth is removed.

This low bone density can present several problems:

Your facial structure changes appearance, such as a receding chin.

Dentures do not fit as well or feel as comfortable resting on your gums.

Inability to successfully place dental implants due to low bone density.

The sinus membrane sags into empty space left by your bone tissue.

Preserve and
Protect Healthy Bone Density

Bone
grafting is an excellent treatment to prepare you for tooth restoration, or to
preserve the bone you have. Grafting material spurs your body to rebuild its
structure and is incorporated in the following procedures:

Ridge Augmentation

Bone grafts can build up the structure that supports your gums when the loss of a tooth results in an indentation, restoring the contour of the tissue

Ridge Preservation

Grafting material can be placed immediately after tooth extraction to ensure that your bone volume remains healthy during the resorption phase

Sinus Augmentation / Lift

Bone grafts may be placed under the sinus cavity, in the upper back area of the jaw to combat bone loss and in some cases, the sinus membrane must be lifted out of the space

Strengthen
Bone Health with Bone Grafting

Fortunately,
your bone structure can be fortified with bone grafting, a procedure performed
by our doctors at Madison Avenue Periodontics which transplants bone to your
weakened jaw structure. Grafting materials can be integrated with your existing
bone, and over time, will forge a stronger base for your dental implants or
dentures. Donor tissue for your graft may be collected from another site on
your body, such as the chin area, or from a bone bank.
